The name, Soroptimist, means “Best for Women,” and that is what our organization strives to achieve. Our vision is to Build Bridges of Opportunity for Women and Girls through our Luncheon fundraiser and scholarships and awards to help women and girls be their best by taking control of their lives, living according to their values and achieving their dreams.
Soroptimist International is a worldwide movement of volunteers, working together to transform the lives of women and girls.
